Video: Policeman charged with murder after torture/extortion of drug suspect shocks Thailand

[Caldera]

If the police had any honor, they would have a special squad to deal with this internally and permanently.

There are at least 7 officers involved in the murder of the suspect, all seven of them should be charged with murder.....not just "dismissed from the force"

And the so called "Doctor" who wrote the death certificate, aka lot's of BS?

Utterly disgusting, and being seen all over the world. I doubt, however, that the main culprit will face justice. Long gone already I suspect.

!Why does the mention of owning very expensive cars and being a drug suppression officer not surprise me.  Now we know where he got the money from!" 

Yes, we do, the same news source quoted his wife as being the hiso owner of a luxury car business 

Another news source shows that he at least owned the Lambo before his engagement party.

Just dismantle the RCP (RTP). Guess what it means.......?

They have been doing more bad than good for several decades. All of them should be prosecuted to the extent of the law.

[Dont confuse me]

If this lowlife accumulated 30 luxury vehicles you gotta wonder what the bloke who was 'protecting' him accumulated? 

Probably a fleet of 747s in the back garden.

And therein lies the problem, the murdering cop will be looking at death penalty and no doubt will be offered some deal in exchange for the next up the ladder!

The next couple up the 'greed ladder' might decide it wouldn't be a bad idea if he had a very long holiday never to be seen again!

With covid, cops not raking in enough.  The guy on the video had his boss who was on his case to make more money, because the big boss was on the boss’s case to make more money, because the supreme boss was on the big boss’s case to make more money, because the super supreme boss was on the supreme boss’s case to make more money, and so on and so forth.

It's a first choice advanced interrogation technique used by nasty boys around the world.

No marks on the victim makes cause of death difficult to ascertain.

Plastic bags are easy to find...

Beheadings nothing less. It's time to turn this agency around.

Bit strange that his transferred and not put in jail directly while the investigation is ongoing. The fact that he is on the run will probably mean he will never be found. The police does not like their dirty laundry out.

 

The police needs reforming and officers should be punished much harsher for corruption and stuff like this. As long as they can operate like this nobody will trust the police.

come on you been in Thailand long enough to know that there's nothing strange about this at all. This is normal procedure. Get in trouble moved to inactive position.

 

It's been like this for decades, nothing is going to change, too much money for the higher ups!!

In  public they all condemn corruption, but behind the doors they count their money.

I showed this clip to my girlfriend, amd she answerred that this only show what was happening in that office.
But clips like these, there are hundreds of them.
They are hidden for the public, but Thai society knows about it.

[gerritkaew]

a brutal murder don by police.

so this is how a suspect says yes to all charges..

lets hope these killers get the same treatment.

It's ealky sad that Thailand has never changed and things like this have been going on since before Thaksin Shinawatra times the government made a criminal investigation board that made it that the high ranks had to declare what assets they have and what  money in the bank. But they dont ever ask the question where the assets or money came from. High ranking officer may get 1.5 million baht a year salary but has 100 million baht of cars parked in the garage  come on you dont have to  be sherlock Holmes but then again the cars could have been a gift from a friend

And here I was watching the news this morning as it was a major story and I thought to myself why not just say he died from Covid.  Why not say he was spitting so you threw the bag on his head, and then the news shows the forensic team all dressed in full PPE's and a covid response vehicle at the station, and I thought what are the odds that the police will be quarantined, the suspect found to have had Covid, and the case swept away.  Of course that's just my view, and would seem to align with all of the past practices by this country.....just saying.

maybe they've used that excuse too many times and tried a new excuse that didn't work as well

Burmese men on death row for the murders of English couple. And the 6 police officers in 2012 all found guilty and sentenced to death for exactly the same type of torture and murder of a drug dealer  but then all released within 6 month.

Prisons here are not full of the guilty they full of  the poor

Blimey,,,,,,,,thats  real  harsh

What I found interesting, though not surprising, according to something I was watching tonight, this isnt a recent event as people assume.

This actually happened back on Aug 6th !

It was reported and because NOTHING was done the video was exposed to force the issue.

How damning is that, that once again a cover up was happening, how many others have been hidden ? Ithink we all know the answer to that one.The murderer of course is long gone by now, cashed out and left over two weeks before the preverbial hit the fan.

[ukrules]

The full video appears to be everywhere on social media right now

 

Full asset confiscation - everything they touched in their lifetimes plus 20 years in prison should be the minimum sentence here - for each time they've done this.

 

An investigation going back to the day they all started in the job is needed.

[dirtybirty]

They are the only mafia in thailand corrupt from the very top to the very bottom. Been on the receiving end of their corruption

It is a good insite into how the police operate here - not only the police but also the medic involved - anyone wondering what happened on Koh Tao need look no further - every aspect of that investigation was twisted beyond belief 

 

shamful 

Even the one that released the video to the lawyer?

Video, of police searching his house in Ram Intra district BKK, with his swimming pool and cars on display.
